St. Ursula senior first runner up for essay

Jenkins

Saint Ursula Academy senior Raichel Jenkins of Anderson Township was recently named First Runner Up in a national essay contest sponsored by the Tagore Society of Houston.

The essay she submitted reflected upon a famous quote by Indian Nobel Laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore.

Raichel's entry was selected from a nationwide pool of many entrants based on her ability to convince the reader of the modern relevance of the ancient quote by Tagore, "Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time."

The objective of the essay contest was to promote "borderless thinking" and the judges felt Raichel's essay achieved this objective and that she effectively used examples of simile to convey her point.

"During this school year at St. Ursula Academy, students will be asked to deeply explore the theme of leadership while embracing the school's mission of faith, integrity, and courage as they pursue their passion," said Principal Craig Maliborksi.

"Raichel is truly living this vision as she pursues her passion for writing."
